Comment(by NotFound):
'char *buf = "unchanged";' declares a char pointer that points to a
constant char array. The "unchanged" is located in a constant segment, if
the architecture has such concept, so if the functions is wrong and tries
to modify it the result will be a segfault, not a failed test.
So a better way would be: char buf[] = "unchanged";
BTW there is no attachment in the ticket.
